Division of Community Engagement

Our mission

The Division of Community Engagement is the open door to the Colorado attorney general’s office. We work to build relationships and establish meaningful conversations across Colorado to hear the needs, ideas, and voices of the people of our state.

The division promotes these connections through our five programs: Outreach and Engagement, Consumer Engagement and Data Services, Safe2Tell Colorado, Opioid Response, and Grants and Partnerships. Through these programs, we serve Coloradans on the priorities of the attorney general’s office. Learn more about each area of work below.

Expanding housing and workforce training in southeast Colorado. Communities in Southeast Colorado have long faced challenges with blighted housing and shortages of available

housing stock. That is why Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a new grant program in the Division of Community Engagement designed to both revitalize rural housing and support construction training programs at community colleges in Southeast Colorado. This housing shortage is largely due to the age of houses and the lack of appropriately trained labor in the area. Read more here.

Empowering Colorado youth and supporting their mental health through the Healthy Youth/Strong Colorado Fund. This public-private partnership reflects investment in youth empowerment programs throughout Colorado. Read more here and here.

Protecting Colorado kids and schools through Safe2Tell. Safe2Tell is a school safety program that provides students, parents, and community members with a safe and anonymous way to report information about any issues that concern their safety or the safety of others.
